FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS

Combined Financial Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2018

This Combined Financial Report provides financial information on the Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Banks issue consolidated bonds and consolidated discount notes (collectively referred to as consolidated obligations). Consolidated obligations are joint and several obligations of all Federal Home Loan Banks, which means that each individual Federal Home Loan Bank is responsible for the payment of principal and interest on all consolidated obligations. Each Federal Home Loan Bank is a separately chartered entity with its own board of directors and management. There is no centralized, system-wide management or oversight by a single board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Banks.

Federal Home Loan Bank consolidated obligations are not obligations of the United States and are not guaranteed by either the United States or any government agency.

The Securities Act of 1933, as amended, does not require the registration of consolidated obligations; therefore, no registration statement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, nor the Federal Housing Finance Agency, nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these consolidated obligations or determined if this report is truthful or complete.

Carefully consider the risk factors provided in this and other Combined Financial Reports of the Federal Home Loan Banks (collectively referred to as Combined Financial Reports). Neither the Combined Financial Reports nor any offering materials provided by, or on behalf of, the Federal Home Loan Banks describe all the risks of investing in consolidated obligations. Investors should consult with their financial and legal advisors about the risks of investing in consolidated obligations.

This Combined Financial Report is available on the Federal Home Loan Banks Office of Finance web site at fhlb-. This web site address is provided as a matter of convenience only, and its contents are not made part of or incorporated by reference into this report.

Investors should direct questions about consolidated obligations or the Combined Financial Reports to the Federal Home Loan Banks Office of Finance at (703) 467-3600.

This Combined Financial Report was issued on March 27, 2019.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ABOUT FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS COMBINED FINANCIAL REPORT

The Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) are government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), federally-chartered but privately capitalized and independently managed. The FHLBanks together with the Federal Home Loan Banks Office of Finance (Office of Finance) comprise the FHLBank System.

The Office of Finance is responsible for preparing the Combined Financial Reports of the FHLBanks. Each FHLBank is responsible for the financial information and underlying data it provides to the Office of Finance for inclusion in the Combined Financial Reports. The Office of Finance is responsible for combining the financial information it receives from each of the FHLBanks.

The Combined Financial Reports are intended to be used by investors in consolidated obligations (consolidated bonds and consolidated discount notes) of the FHLBanks as these are joint and several obligations of all FHLBanks. This Combined Financial Report is provided using combination accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This combined presentation in no way indicates that these assets and liabilities are under joint management and control as each individual FHLBank manages its operations independently. Therefore, each FHLBank's business, risk profile, financial condition, and results of operations will vary from FHLBank to FHLBank.

Because of the FHLBank System's structure, the Office of Finance does not prepare consolidated financial statements. Consolidated financial statements are generally considered to be appropriate when a controlling financial interest rests directly or indirectly in one of the enterprises included in the consolidation, which is the case in a typical holding company structure where there is a parent corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, one or more subsidiaries. However, the FHLBanks do not have a parent company that controls each of the FHLBanks. Instead, each of the FHLBanks is owned by its respective members and certain former members.

Each FHLBank is a separately chartered cooperative with its own board of directors and management and is responsible for establishing its own accounting and financial reporting policies in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Although the FHLBanks work together in an effort to achieve consistency on significant accounting policies, the FHLBanks' accounting and financial reporting policies and practices may vary because alternative policies and presentations are permitted under GAAP in certain circumstances. Statements in this report may be qualified by a term such as "generally," "primarily," "typically," or words of similar meaning to indicate that the statement is generally applicable, but may not be applicable to all FHLBanks or their transactions as a result of their different business practices and accounting and financial reporting policies under GAAP.

An investor may not be able to obtain easily a system-wide view of the FHLBanks' business, risk profile, and financial information because there is no centralized, system-wide management or centralized board of director oversight of the individual FHLBanks. This decentralized structure is not conducive to preparing disclosures from a system-wide view in the same manner as is generally expected of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registrants. For example, a conventional Management's Discussion and Analysis is not provided in this Combined Financial Report; instead, this report includes a "Financial Discussion and Analysis" prepared by the Office of Finance using information provided by each FHLBank.

Each FHLBank is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must file periodic reports and other information with the SEC. Each FHLBank prepares an annual financial report, filed on SEC Form 10-K, quarterly financial reports, filed on SEC Form 10-Q, and current reports, filed on SEC Form 8-K. Those reports contain additional information that is not contained in this Combined Financial Report. An investor should review those reports and other available information on individual FHLBanks to obtain additional detail on each FHLBank's business, risk profile, financial condition, results of operations, and accounting and financial reporting policies. Periodic reports and other information filed by each FHLBank with the SEC are made available on its web site and on the SEC's web site at . References to web sites and to reports and other information filed by individual FHLBanks with the SEC are provided as a matter of convenience only, and their contents are not made part of or incorporated by reference into this report.
